Jordan Vrubley of Belgium is this year’s recipient of the Dr. Dorr Memorial Scholarship given by the Melvin Wester American Legion Post 412 of Belgium.

The $1,500 scholarship is given each year by the post to a student who lives in the town or village of Belgium or is a descendant of a post member and has completed at least three semesters of study in a medical field.

Vrubley is the son of Jeff and Debra Vrubley and the grandson of Janice and the late Frank Vrubley.

The owners of the site of Belgium’s former grocery store are looking for help to rent the property.

David and Bobi Schultz on Monday asked the Plan Commission for ideas.

“What we’re looking for is some advice, suggestions on what we can do with the property there,” David said. “I think there’s really potential, but I can’t see the future so I don’t know what that potential is. It’s such a nice building.”

The 22,000-square-foot building on the 11.9-acre site at 465 S. Royal Ave. has been vacant since the grocery store closed in 2008 after barely a year in business.
